Slides in the Turbine Room

Over the Thanksgiving break I was able to visit my former college flatemates in London. I will give a more indepth review of my holiday later, I would like to share the most recent installation at the Tate Modern.

Long overdue Secret Pal Update


I am quite embarrassed that have not shared my lovely presents from my secret pal. The first one I received was a very thoughtful gift certificate from Hello Yarn and 1.5 ounces of roving aptly named "Rooster." It's reds flow into pinks (but not too much pick) and light purples beautifully.


My second gift is from Yarn Pirate. It's a Merino/Tencel blend that is comprised of beautiful jewel tones. It's colorway is "Semi Precious."

Thank you so much to my Secret Pal. And thank you for the nudge. :)

I am happy to report that I still do not have an accent from the state in which I currently reside.

You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."
